THE DAILY NOVELETTE
The Salvaging of Chris
Ht'lSKM, CLAYTON
Chris Bnllev faced tho tricky-eyed
president of the National Tradesmen's
In angrj. Impotent ilesnalr
"And so," concluded that Individual
suavely "you nee where vou stand, Your

Is to tnke this thousand I'm offering you

would bo preferable to well, to doing

For n moment, there wns utter silence
In tho ofllce. So he. Christopher Bailey,
of honorable antecedents, had been
tricked made the goat offered up ns
a sacrifice I Suddenly, he strode over to
the othr'fi (lisk "IWm your dirty
money!" ho shouted. "I'll get out be
cause It's tho only thing I can do, but
look out If I ever come back '"
A few days later, the Cubana, passing
Hatteras In a smooth sea with a gentle
onshore breeze, picked up tho Long
.Shoals light To Chris, who hnrt been
standing motionless bv the nft rnll
watching Its gleam, It flashed a peculiar
message, shining ns It did, from that
odd and lonely region whero tho ono girl
he had ever fancied ho might come to
love nan eiccteu to spend her summers,
depleting with her skillful hnmli th
plrango chaructorw .and scenes sho en
countered
"Oood-by to dreams!" twinkled tho
ugni.
'Oood-by, .incv!" said Chris soberly.
At that very instant ho felt a hand on
his shoulder Turning with a start, he

As for Chris Intending to let tho
ocean close nuletlj ' on r him. he had
noerthele8 struck out for shore, 1m
pellcd by tho dominant instinot tor nelf
preservation. At first ho swam viol
ently, then husbanded his stir.-;tli and
calculating tho distance to the light,
decided to take It coolly malcu a stunt
of It.
Many hours later. Chrlstopner Awoke
to a realization that he was lying on a
comfortable bed in a queer sort of a
room with a concave wall. At his sMe
sat a placid, white-haired old lady, knit
ting. "Where am I?" asked Christopher,
passing a weak hand ovor his foreheAil.
"Beach-combers' Island," said tho
woman gently, "Named because we
muko our living aalvnglnu vi eckage
from the ships that striko tho Hatteras
shoals."
Chris was silent Ho knew now why
tho wall of tho room r-ns concave. It
bad onco formed pnrt of th. hull of
some wrecked vessel. Satisfied, ho (ell
asleep again, and It wns not until he nad
slept tho round of the clock that hn
awoke, refreshed and virtually recovered
from the exhaustion produced by his
many hours In the water.
This tlmo the gentle old lady was
gone, while In her pmce .Christopher
sat up suddenly and rubbed his eyes.
"Nancy 1" he cried, "Nancy!" And then,
sura that ha was dcllrous, ho unit
weakly back on tho pillow.
But tho tall, dark girl who had been
sitting by the window ros- and cam
over quickly. "Yes, Chris," she ealJ
tenderly, "It's Nnncy. Funny, wasn't It?
Tho son of old Mrs. ISckles, with whom
I board, found you on the b 'nch und

Suddenly her eys frlled with tears

That night Chris sat on the Kclcles
front porch and smoked rtllrctlvoly
About him. In the moonlight, tho moro

Christopher's thoughts were far from
